This spring I planted a mixed bag of bulbs in a planter on our front porch. The bag didn’t identify the different flowers that were included so I had no idea what was going to pop up. 
This is the first one to flower and I’m not sure what it is. I’m sure someone out there can identify it for me. It is about 6 feet tall.

It’s a dahlia and a beautiful one at that!
Thank you, Bonnie. I suspected that was what it was but I didn’t want to say that and feel stupid if I was wrong. 🙂 I have more blooms coming up so I plan to take more photos as they emerge.
As the saying goes : ” What is in a name “, Maralee ?
It is a beautiful flower ! And your shot made it fabulous !
Congrats !
